I found this last volume of the series to be much better done than the previous two. You can definitely see that the author finally knows exactly where she wants these characters to go and what will happen.

To rate the full series, I'd probably give it 3.5 stars. It would have been higher, but I'm unable to see past the shortcomings of volume one. It's a shame because it really is a good story, but if I picked this up for myself and not for book club, the first third would have put me off it altogether. About halfway through the series, things started actually intriguing me, and I was able to read more than just one chapter at a time. I feel like most things were pretty tied up by the end, but it also seemed like things were resolved a bit too easily relative to the stakes.

This volume was so much better than the first one. Although I was still distracted by errors in the writing, it was less noticeable because the story really picked up. The pacing was much better, and it all actually felt like one cohesive story instead of a bunch of loosely related chapters crammed together.

For a graphic novel, this took forever to read. The entire first half of the book felt like a total slog because nothing was happening, it was just a story of these kids and their magical adventures. Eventually, the tone does shift woth some pretty dark themes and intense plot points, but immediately after, it goes straight back to silly, fun adventures as if nothing even happened. If it wasn't for my book club, I definitely wouldn't have picked up this book as I'm really not a fan of stories of silly childish romances. I read this on Webtoon, and the writing was pretty brutal to get through due to lack of editing.
